1 Claim.
The invention relates to new and useful improvements in processing planting seed with dust disinfectants and has for an object a positive means for feeding a predetermined amount of dust to the seed for treatment.
Another object is to thoroughly coat or cover each individual seed with dust while being treated.
The invention may be more readily understood by referring to the accompanying drawing in which Fig. l is a side view of the complete machine partly shown in section. Figure 2 is a front and sectional View of same with pulleys IE, II and I2, and bearings 25 and I4 removed. Figure 3 is a plan or top view of the dust container with the right angle drive removed to more clearly show the interior. Figure 4 is a plan of the cut ofi' slide beneath the dust container also showing an are having spaced holes for holding the slide in the desired position by means of a plunger. Figure 5 is a front View of the are shown in Figure 4. Figure 6 is a side view of a modified slide using a spring clip instead of a plunger as shown in Figure 4. Figures 7 and 8 are modifications of Figure 5. Figures 9 and 11 are plan or top views of a modified form of the mixing cylinder as shown at l0 (Figs. 1 and 2) and Figures and 12 are side views of 9 and II respectively.
In the drawing like numerals designate like parts. I is a supporting bracket (see Figs. 1 and 2) for attaching the machine securely in place, 2 is a clamp for supporting right angle drive 3 in desired position. 4 is a set screw for securing shaft 5 to right angle drive 3. The right angle drive may be removed when desired by releasing set screw 4 and opening clamp 2. In the accompanying drawing the machine is shown attached to a wall of a seed cleaning or culling machine with no part of the culling machine shown except the discharge end of a screw conveyor 9 in a trough 21. This conveyor shows one method of discharging the seed into an enclosed box 22, the seed falling by gravity onto a rotating cylinder it that has spaced cross bars or barriers '29 extending outwardly upon the periphery of the cylinder, the purpose of which is to use centrifugal action to separate the seed one from another.
The disinfectant dust is placed in the container 1 and through means of the rotating agitator 6 in proximity to the bottom of the container will constantly move the dust over the spaced holes through said bottom and to one side of the center of the container is a pivotally mounted slide or closure member l8 (Figures 3 and 4) extending substantially diametrically across the bottom of the container, on one side of same are lips l9 bent to conform to the protruding edges of the bottom of the container for the purpose of holding the slide in nearness thereto preventing undesired leakage. Attached to the opposite side of the slide [8 is shown a plunger 20 working in conjunction with an arc 2| attached to the container 1 and having holes 30 spaced apart in relation to the holes or discharge openings I! through the bottom of said container. By moving the plunger from one hole of the are 2! to another a like number of holes in the bottom of the container will be opened or closed. This will provide means for feeding the desired quantity of dust through the holes in the container which will gravitate through the spout 8 into the enclosed box 22 and also fall upon the rotating cylinder Ill with the seed, thereby creating a fog of the dust through which the seed are thrown and fall by gravity thus assuring a thorough coating of the seed with the disinfectant dust.
Motion is given the various parts by revolving the conveyor 9 (see Fig. 1) as may be done through the use of a pulley on the opposite end of shaft 28 and belted to any suitable source not shown. Then belt around pulleys l6 and IE will drive the vertical shaft 5 through means of the right angle drive 3, this will give motion to the agitator 6. A variation in the speed of the mixing cylinder [0 may be had through the use of a belt surrounding the step pulleys II and I2 mounted on shafts 26 and I3 respectively.
In the modified forms of the cut oil slide (Fig. 6) 28 is an upturned portion standing at substantially right angle to the plane of the slide and may be used in conjunction with the are shown in Figure 7, 3| being ribs or raised portions across the face and spaced as described in 2| (Fig. 5). Figure 8 is a similar are except notches 32 are used instead of raised portions 3! (Fig. 7) or the holes 30 (Fig 5). In using the modifications a slight downward pressure exerted upon the out off slide as at 28 (Fig. 6) will disengage it from the notches 32 (Fig. 8) or the cross members 3| (Fig. 7) and permit movement of the said slide to any desired position, upon releasing the said downward pressure the slide will spring into engagement with said notches in the said arc.
Figure 9 is a plan of a cone in modified form of the mixing cylinder Ifl (Fig. 2) having spaced of same. Beneath the holes through the bottom raised portions or barriers 23 which are more clearly shown in the elevation (Fig. 10). Figure 11 is another plan of a modification of the mixing cylinder H), in this drawing is shown a disk with radially spaced barriers 24 thereupon and has for a purpose the preferred form as shown at l0 (Figs. 1 and 2).
What I claim is:
In a machine of the character described, a dust container, said container having discharge openings, a closure member rotatably mounted at the bottom of the container and having a portion adapted to normally close said openings,
the container having a rim at the bottom thereof, lips carried by the closure member and overhanging the rim for retaining the closure memher in a position to rotate with respect to the bottom of the container, coacting locking means carried by the closure member and container for locking the closure member in a selected position whereby the discharge openings may be selectively fully opened as well as varied to control the amount of discharge from the discharge openings, the container constituting one memher and the closure member constituting a second member, the coacting locking means comprising an apertured arc-shaped element carried c by one member and a releasable plunger carried "by the other member for engaging the aperturcd arc-shaped element.
